THE MONEY MARKETS.
The New York money market for the
past week may be described as quiet
rather than stringent, though the same
conditions which were In force last week
continue to prevail, and it may be said
that certain additional conservatism has
shown itself, although the condition of
the leading domestic money III arkets does
not indicate any decided tendency to
draw funds from New York. Loan
ing rates for bankers balances
on call on the Stock Exchange
have varied during the week from to
per cent, and institutions and large
lenders are generally making loans at 4t@
81 per cent, the supply, in the fat condi-
tion of the market during the greater
part of the week, being adequate to all
demands. Inquiry for time loans has
slsckened to some extent, but rates are
still tolerably firm, loans on good mixed
collatera! being made at per cent,
with exceptional instances of loans
being placed at 5@5t per cent,
although it may be said that no
mercial paper is quiet; banks are not
purchasing, and confne their takings of
notes entirely to their own customers,
and rates are stiff st per cent. for best
city names, while makers of paper are
either holding off or contracting their re-
quirements, which necessarily curtails
the market.-[ Brsdstreet's.

NEW YORK, Dec. l5.-The stock mar
ket was dull to-day and prices sagged
rsarly the whole day, though the final
changes in but few cases are for more
tbsp fractional amounts. There was
some expectations in bear circles that the
Illness of the Crown Prince of Germany
would have an unsettling effect upon
European markets, but contrary was the
case, and European buyers orders were
plentiful. In the morning the de-
msnd was not very heavy, how
ever, though selling was equally
light and the market soon became
extremely dull and traders showed 8 dis
position to realizs on the long side which
gagged the list of slowly, the fluctuations
being confined to narrow limits, while
there was no special pressure to sell. The
opening was irregular, but firm, st ad-
vsnces of about per cent, and though
there was momentsry heaviness in the
early trading rally soon followed and
small advances were established. The
LIST became very dull, however, and slight
GAINS were in most cases lost before the
end of the first hour after which
prices sagged of, though Union Pacific
and New England were specially weak.
During the afternoon there was no
change in the market, and it closed very
dull at about the lowest figures reached.
The closing prices show irregular
changes, but declines are in the majority,
though Canadian Pacific with IL was the
only important loss, while Manhattan
rose / and Fort Worth and Denver City
per cent.
Railroad bonds were very dull, but
generally firm to strong; the closing
prices are generally higher.

TUMBLING IN RUINS.
Fall of Half Built SchOO1hOuSe
in the Metropolis.
Five Men Instantly Killed and
Many More Injured.

By the fall of an unfinished building in East
115th street, New York, a few days since
five workmen were killed and about thir-
teen others were injured, several Of them
seriously The accident was the result Q:
haste and bad management Details Of the
accident are as follows:
By order of the Rev. Father Kerner, of
the Church of our Lady Of Mount Carmel,
workmen began to build a parochial school
at No 439 East 115th street about
two months ago. The building was
age of twenty-five feet and depth OF
nearly 100 feet. Efforts were made to push
the work rapidly and cheaply. About TWEEN
" men were at work in the unfinished struc-
tnre at $50 P. NJ. the other day The side
walls were up far as the fourth story
and the rear wall was nearly as
high, while the front had not been
raised above the foundation. A steam en-
driving bod elevator. The floor beams had
not been supported properly in the middle,
and they shook every time the elevator went
up with its load of bricks and mortar.
Finally the unsupported side walls could
not longer bear the strain, and they fell with
out warning while all the workmen were
busy. A woman who was looking
directly into the building from the
side of 115th street, saw the first culver of
the falling walls. She said that the walls
fell inward at the second and third story. At
the same moment the floor beams fell, and
she the workmen go down in the tangle
of beams and bricks. Only the rear wall and
small portions of the side walls in the rear
remained standing.
There was loud crash that startled every
body in the neighborhood. Bricks from the
top of the west wall crushed the roof of the
frame blacksmith shop at No 437. and killed
Henry Reinitz, a horseshOer who was at
work there. For a few seconds after
the crash the ruins were partly Obscured by a
cloud of pulverized mortar. Through the
cloud a few men were seen struggling to
escape from the wreck. Loud cries from the
helpless wounded men were heard.
A great crowd of excited people soon filled
the street. and for time the work of rescue
was impeded by the throng. policeman
ran to the signal box at First avenue and
115th street. and sent out an alarm OF fire. Call
for ambulances were sent from the same box
a little later. Hearing the alarm, Captain
Hooker of the East 10th street squad, went
with his reserve force of policemen to scatter
the crowd and help the firemen in the
work of rescue Five companies of firemen,
who had responded to the alarm, went to
work promptly At first the workmen who
were in sight were carried out of the ruins.
Among the seriously injured was the Rev.
Ameiianus Kerner, the Priest who had been
looking after the erection of the building.
The dead numbered five, and the injured
thirteen.
